Burial took place at Riverside Cemetery in Spencer. Mrs. Roskens passed away Friday, Sept. 30, 2011, at Northshire Residence in Spencer.

She attended rural school through the eighth grade, graduating from Okoboji Consolidated High School. She later took a teacher's course at BV College and taught rural schools grade K-8 for 4 years. Viola married Harold Roskens in 1949 and together they farmed north of Everly, while attending First Reformed Church of Everly. After eleven years, they purchased a farm of their own and moved west of Fostoria. In addition to farming, homemaking and raising five children, Viola also spent 10 years as a cook at Longhouse Nursing Home. In 1983, they retired from farming and moved to Spencer, transferring their membership to Hope Reformed Church. Viola continued working at the Longhouse/Northshire activity department part-time, as well as at the Spencer Hospital, and volunteering when not participating at the Spencer Senior Center. Viola touched so many lives with her strength, courage and support and was always available to her family and friends whenever they needed her love or listening ear.
